The Names Behind The Voices
Ever wonder who said what? If you check the Halo Manual, you'll see a list of Voice Talent credits in the back... but there are no characters associated with the names. Long-time Bungie fans might be able to pick up one or two (Pete Stacker, the voice of Captain Keyes, was also Griffin, head of the TCTF in Oni, for example)... but the rest are enigmas. Or they were... until now. Thanks to Marty O'Donnell, who graciously filled us in on who's who in Halo. HBO comments are in purple.

and of course the incomparable performance of Matt Soell as Crewman 1.
There were also a few odds and ends of other crewmen or soldiers done by various Bungie actors but none had that "stand out" quality of Crewman 1. We're thinking of doing an entirely new game, a prequel, that traces the childhood and heroic life of Crewman 1 prior to his tragic and premature demise in Halo, starring of course the voice of Matt Soell. As a matter of fact - did Crewman 1 really die? Hmmm.....
[Some of you might remember Crewman 1... some of you might not. The latter are luckier.] |
On June 3, 2006, Marty O'Donnell pinned down the voices for Halo 2 - specifically to make it easier to identify individual speakers for the Dialogue Databank. You rock, Marty!
